About Selinda Concession
The Selinda Concession is a vast private reserve linking the Okavango Delta with the Linyanti marshes via the Selinda Spillway. This exclusive wilderness area is renowned for its exceptional predator viewing, particularly wild dogs and lions. When the spillway flows during high flood years, it creates a remarkable canoe trail through pristine wilderness connecting two of Botswana's greatest waterways.
